They also re-itorated that the monkeys were pathogen-free and had just had recent check-ups. Read the full statement here.

8:30 p.m. UPDATE: Three monkeys have been confirmed to be on the loose in Jasper County after a miscount. A truck overturned carrying them to a testing facility earlier today. It was originally believed that there was only one left that escaped into nearby woods and was not shot by law enforcement, but we now know there are three.
